He had to undergo emergency surgery - Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt rushed into emergency surgery after old injury resurfaces on set
Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, aged 82, has undergone emergency surgery after an old injury flared up during a reality show filming. The wound, originally from a 1999 carmax accident in Thailand, became severely infected and required urgent medical attention. He was taken to hospital in Waldshut-Tiengen by ambulance on Wednesday.
The incident began when Prinz von Anhalt noticed the reopened wound while on set. The injury dated back to a vehicle accident on the island of Phuket, where he had been struck by a car. Doctors quickly determined the wound was dangerously infected.
Surgeons performed the procedure under general anaesthesia. They removed a significant amount of pus and embedded dirt to stop the infection from reaching the bone. The operation was deemed critical to prevent further complications.
The emergency surgery addressed a long-standing injury that had resurfaced unexpectedly. Prinz von Anhalt's condition will now depend on the success of the procedure and his recovery. No further details about his health or the reality show have been released.
